Sailing School

The club is a Royal Yachting Association Recognised Training Centre (RTC). We aim to provide the highest standard of tuition with qualified instructors. Courses have a maximum of 6 places ensuring personal attention. Safety powerboats are always on hand to care for those on the water.

Courses Available

All courses are by arrangement, please bring a change of clothes, soft soled shoes and if possible waterproof jacket and trousers. Sailing is weather dependent and courses may have to be canceled or rescheduled depending on conditions on the day.

We are pleased to arrange these to suit your personal needs, whether it is on your own, with family or with friends. Simply let us know your requirements and we will be happy to quote you a price.
